Vivek and Michael discuss individual vs team sports, the connective power of food, Indian culture & its representation in media, political polarization in the USA, and how Avatar: The Last Airbender might just be what brings our country back together.

My name is Michael Lotito, and I'm a Princeton University graduate currently taking a gap year while applying to medical school. I've always enjoyed a wide variety of things—sports, music, sci-fi, meditation, personal finance/investing, hanging with my dog, art—so I figured I would make a podcast where my friends and I touch on all these topics and more :)  If you ever want to get in touch, please contact me on IG (@mlotito15), Facebook (Michael Lotito), Twitter (@ML15_ERA), or email ([email protected])—I'd love to chat!   

Peace,
